Expected loss of 140,000 4 and Scion xD, Pruis V internal capacity units, Prius only made in Japan. 2 3/25/2011 What has happened: company response? • Company response • Emergency Response Centers (ERC) activated • Business Continuity Plans (BCP) exercised • “Broken field running” • Day-by-day adjustments of plans dependent on facility, supply and utility availability • Shifting operations outside of affected area • Resupply from non-traditional sources (internal & external) • Those without ERCs and contingency plans (or enough contingency) are searching for back-up options • Searching after a disruption is not the best time to be setting up back-up options 5 Japan: contrast with recent disasters New Zealand Earthquake Feb 2011 Haiti Earthquake Jan 2010 Gulf Oil Spill Summer 2010 Aus tra lian Floo ds Dec 2010 Iceland Volcano Mar-Apr 2010 Japan is a Landslide in Peru Jan 2010 Chile Earthquake & Tsunami Feb 2010 • Major supplier region Russian Wildfires Jul 2010 • Major consumer region Hurricane Earl Aug 2010 Pakistan Floods July 2010 Hungary Toxic Spill Oct 2010 Haiti Cholera Outbreak Oct 2010 Indonesia Volcano & Tsunami Oct 2010 Guatemala Sinkhole may 2010 US East Coast Blizzard Feb 2010 6 3 3/25/2011 Japan as a consumer of the world 1.Civilian aircraft including parts Top 10 imports into Japan from the US* 2.Yellow corn 3.Soybeans 4.Artificial human body parts and related accessories 5.Fresh or chilled pork, unprocessed … 6.Medications for retail sale Supply Chain Disruptions in 7.Frozen pork, unprocessed the rest of the world: 8.Silicon 9.Wheat - Lack of demand parts 10.Semiconductor manufacturing machines causes production to slow down or stop *Source: Daniel Workman based on Sources: This analysis presents independent calculations and insights based on the United States International Trade Commission’s Interactive Tariff and Trade Dataweb. This is a publicly available, interactive database for international trade queries. Also - Japan is one of the world’s largest importers of Luxury goods ( apparel, shoes, accessories, jewelry, etc.) 7 What has happened: indirect impacts? Price of Oil – reduced demand by Japan lowers the price for the rest of the world (masked somewhat by the fighting in Libya) Price of electricity -- likely immediate increase in Japan will make production costs higher for energy intensive products from basic industries. Long term term big global impact as it will be much harder to re - license existing nuclear power plants, become much harder to build new ones, and costly to retrofit old ones based on the learning from Japan. Toyota and Honda – there are intense capacity planning talks going on right now as they are both ramping up production at their US plants for export to other countries. They are beginning to promote the vehicles that they make outside of Japan for export to world markets. Both are activating suppliers in the US, asking US suppliers to resurrect recent quotes on parts that they bid on up to 4 years ago. They are asking “How fast can you get up an running on these parts?” Currency Exchange rates – currency speculators drove up the ppricerice of the Yen in anticipation of Japanese businesses needing to sell of foreign assets to bring those funds home to pay for the reconstruction – this was thwarted by the intervention of the Group of Seven (sold off Yen to bring down the price) 8 4 3/25/2011 What has happened: the Yen? AFTER THE DISASTER (As predicted by the currency speculators) Japanese investments in foreign Sell C$, buy Yen countries Sell Yuan, buy Yen CANADA Sell $, buy Yen $ CHINA Sell S$, Y buy Yen USA Sell £, buy Yen $ SINGAPORE $ Sell Won, UK buy Yen £ KOREA w Sell E, GERMANY buy Yen E Currency speculators believed that Japan will need 124 $Billion to rebuild. And that Japan would shortly begin selling their foreign assets to bring that money back to Japan to rebuild. And that they would have to convert those foreign funds in to YEN So the price of YEN (exchange rate) on the currency markets shot upwards …. but has now been brought back down through intervention by the Group of Seven central banks selling off Yen to counter this impact. 9 What will happen? • Unanticipated disruptions in the coming weeks/months in downstream supply chains • Not limited to automotive & high tech industries • Likely material hoarding • Expect some costs to increase (electricity) • Growth opportunities • For those firms that fill the void left by lost capacity • Resilience and risk management will matter to many • But only for a little while • Longer term only a subset will take action • Will your company take action now to prepare for the next disruption? • Wisdom of JIT & Lean practices will be challenged • But the advantages are so high and downsides can be mitigated 10 5 3/25/2011 What should companies do: now? • Use your business continuity plans! • Contact your suppliers • How are they being affected? • How are thitheir suppliers bibeing affect ed? • Understand the details of exposure: Trust but verify (material availability) • Specifically: look for dependence on suppliers of LCD materials, silicon wafers, and those who use those materials; check your suppliers’ suppliers • There will be surprises…. • Contact your customers • Do they expect their demand to fall off? • What is their dependency on demand from Japan? • What is their dependency on supply in Japan? • Grow! What material supply voids can your company fill? 11 What should companies do: near term? • Seize the moment: get senior exec support for risk mgt action • Develop back-up plans • ‘Business continuity plans’ (BCP) focused on restoring lost capacities • Fa ilure mode focus (the limit ed set of core capacities) • Identify full supply chain network (Tier 1, 2, 3, etc.) & risks • Who are my suppliers? • Assess geographical risk (Are my suppliers all located in the same geo?) • Assess organizational risk (Are we sole sourced?) • Assess embedded risk (Are my various suppliers all dependent on a common material source?) • What are the ppqrobabilities & consequences of loss • Reduce probability

    NIKON REPORT 2018 Year Ended March 31, 2018 Unlock the future with the power of light Unleashing the limitless possibilities of light. Striving to brighten the human experience. Focused, with purpose, on a better future for all. THIS IS THE ESSENCE OF NIKON. Creation of New Value by Unlocking the Future with the Power of Light Throughout a century since its founding, Nikon has continued to win customer trust by contributing to the development of society with products and solutions based on its core opto-electronics and precision technologies. The technologies, the human resources, and the brand cultivated through this process have become reliable strengths supporting Nikon today. After completing the restructuring that began in November 2016, it will be crucial to further hone these strengths and fulfill our role as the “new eyes for people and industry” in order to create new value and support our growth strategies. Our vision formulated in 2017 will guide us in fostering corporate culture in which each employee is encouraged to think about what is necessary in order to accomplish growth and to tackle the challenges this introspection reveals. With this culture, everyone at Nikon will unite in our quest to consistently create corporate value. Nikon Report 2018 puts a spotlight on the value we have provided thus far and the strengths cultivated over the years. Moreover, the report seeks to communicate the basis for the growth strategies to be implemented after the completion of the restructuring and the tasks that will need to be addressed in order to effectively implement those strategies.

The integration now provides users of CamRanger’s wireless camera control system with the ability to print to most DNP photo printers via the WPS-1 server—creating a complete wireless end-to-end solution for photographers. The CamRanger is a compact stand-alone device that connects directly to Canon and Nikon digital SLR cameras via a USB cable. The device creates an ad-hoc Wi-Fi network that tablets, smartphones, and Mac and Windows PCs can use to connect to the camera. A downloadable CamRanger app enables wireless control of the camera, including live view, image capture and view, editable camera settings, movie recording, time-lapse, macro photography and now, direct printing of images. “As wireless printing continues to become an important part of the modern photographer’s workflow, we plan to integrate the WPS-1 with many of the third party products that our customers deploy on a daily basis,” said Katsuyuki Oshima, president of DNP Imagingcomm America Corporation.
